This week, we’re taking a break from the tough questions we’ve been covering, so that we can share stories of how God is working in and through our lives.
In these first three months of 2014, I have had a few opportunities to speak at different events. My first opportunity was in...
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord’, will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only those who do the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophecy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many...
I want you to think back to a time in your life where you really had to trust someone to have your best interest in mind when you were unsure of how things would turn out. In reality, we all have to do that a lot more often than we think. The first time you get on an airplane, you...
What is science? The 2004 Encyclopedia Britannica says science is “any system of knowledge that is concerned with the physical world and its phenomena and that entails unbiased observations and systematic experimentation. In general, a science involves a pursuit of knowledge covering...
I have had many debates with atheists, agnostics, Christians, young-earth creationists, old-earth creationists, theistic evolutionists, and everything in between. In all those debates I have found one very interesting common thread. Every one of these people who have rejected the Gospel,...
Christians claim that our God is holy. But what does that mean, and why can we make that claim? As I’m sure you’ve been noticing from our recent blog posts, we at Worldview Warriors hold to the teachings of the Bible. It is from the Bible that we learn about who God is, what God is...
Like most young men who grew up in middle class America, during my teenage years, I was introduced to pornography. For those who get hooked, each has their own reason for why it captured them. Mine was curiosity initially, and then became the ability to see what was “secret” or hidden....
What does it mean to be a Christian? The name “Christian” has become somewhat clichéd in American culture and many who call themselves Christians really don’t have a clue of what the name with which they identify actually means. This is something we are all learning more and more but...
I had a very telling experience earlier today. As lead pastor of a small congregation, I’m the one who gets called to go and visit those who are even loosely associated with our church body when they are in a hospital or nursing home. Today, I was visiting a younger man who is in...
We were almost halfway through the week and I was still conflicted about where I was going to be attending church on Sunday. Trinity was friendly but I really did not feel the Spirit of God calling me there. One of my dilemmas was that Bible 101 shuttled people to church on Sunday mornings...
I want to start this post with a very important truth: God loves you. He made you in His image, and He carefully knit you together in your mother’s womb.
There are multiple Bible passages I could quote here that say homosexuality is a sin. But I want to make something clear up front:...
In my previous blog I mentioned that I tried to take Jesus seriously about hospitality, even to those who come to “sell me” their religion. And I shared briefly about one major departure from the Truth that the Jehovah’s Witnesses believe.
We often feel ill-equipped to have a discussion,...
How did life get here? There are two major competing theories and ideas about it: Evolution and Creation, namely Biblical Creation. There really are not any alternative options. Life was created intelligently or it came about without it on its own. I’ve been reading a very interesting...
As a man, I feel it is important to address something in this writing that is a ridiculous falsehood that has been commonly accepted for far too long. It struck me a few months ago when a good friend of mine at work had been having a discussion with several other co-workers and decided...
Ice cream, such a simple treat, but I knew that for me it was not about the ice cream, but the ice breaker. She actually wanted to talk to me! Shortly after receiving her message I hurried downstairs to the cafeteria. She was already down there waiting for me, looking preoccupied with...
Life, in all its diversity, actually boils down to only a few basic things that EVERY living organism shares. In some of these cases, the shared traits are so exceptionally specific when compared to the possibilities it leads one to realize the specificity of a Designer.
All living...
Exodus 20:14 says, “You shall not commit adultery.”
Well that pretty much sums it up, right? But what exactly is adultery? You may hold to the common notion that adultery is when a man and woman are married, and one partner has sexual intercourse with somebody else. That is a true...
Saturday morning, you sit down for breakfast, have a cup of tea or coffee, and just when you are about relax into your day, the doorbell rings. You didn’t have guests coming, so you curiously walk into the foyer and peek out the window. And then your moral and ethical struggle begins.

The First Law of Thermodynamics states that matter or energy cannot be created or destroyed in a closed system.
The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that there will always be a general tendency from order to disorder in a closed system.
What is this talking about and how is this...
